On the first day of riding we take a round trip in the area round Sibiu to get used of the terrain and the riding in Romania. We call this day the “level test” for the selection of the route for the next days.

The second day of the tour takes us away from Sibiu and we will cross the first high mountain ridge overnighting in a beatiful valley where we experience the endless steep uphills and depp forests of the Carpathian Mountains. 

On the third day of riding we ride will ride up to the highest peaks and deepest valleys you have ever seen, a good part of the day we ride over the tree line and will overnight in a perfect mountain lodge. On this day the Short Kings Trail participants will join us.

The fourth day brings us into really untouched regions where you feel at some parts of the trail like you were completely alone and on your own. Real adventure feeling.

The fifth and last day of the trail leads us back to Sibiu where the trail ends.

The Kings Trail is designed for riders with good medium level skills to enjoy the tour. We guarantee that everyone will be happy and tired in the evening.

The daily stages are divided so that we stop for lunch in a local inn and take breaks in between where we can relax and have a snack to rest and refuel our bodies.

The length of the daily stages are dependent on the level of rider skill and can be around 120 to 150 km long. We do provide an alternative route if riders become tired during the ride, either via short cuts or gravel road routes to the hotel or taking a seat in the support vehicle.
